On Saturday, March 1, former Record Bowler of the Week Ricky Rovelli of Colonie won his third Capital District Youth Scholarship Tournament this season and record sixth overall in what was the highest scoring event of the season and fifth highest ever (based on the overall field average). The bowlers averaged 199.5 on the 2013 EBT European Champions Cup lane condition. Rovelli defeated Christopher Radliff of Schenectady 246 - 222 to win at Hometown Lanes with 39 entries in the tenth tournament of the season.

CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP: Radliff began with three consecutive strikes to take an 18-pin lead. Rovelli closed to within nine pins following strikes in the third and fourth frames. Strikes in the sixth and seventh frames enabled Radliff to grow his lead back up to 19-pins. Rovelli responded with the next five strikes to win 246-222.

Fifth was Zack Terry (Rotterdam) at $55; DJ Dragt (Clifton Park) finished sixth for $45; Chad Sutliff of Valatie was seventh, earning $35; and Andrew Bennett (Albany) got $30 for finishing eighth. A total of $905 in scholarships was awarded; season total is $11,355.

TOURNAMENT RECAP: Lang and Rovelli were the respective leaders after the first two games. However, Lynch rolled 781 over her final three games to surge into the lead with a 969 four-game series, tied for the fourth-highest ever in CDYST competition. In the semifinals, Rovelli won his first match to regain a lead that he would retain to earn the top seed heading to the finals. Radliff won all three of his semifinal matches to vault from eighth place after the qualifying round into second place.

Milestones include new display of recent inductees, Hometown Heroics update, and media outreach

ARLINGTON, Texas – Several key long-term projects for the the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame have reached key milestones. The accomplishments include exhibit updates, technology upgrades and public relations successes.

Years of planning and collaboration have led to funding and a formal plan to display USBC Hall of Famers, who have been inducted since the 2005 merger, in that satellite museum of The National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev.

“We are thrilled to be able to honor the newer USBC Hall of Famers in our satellite museum,” Managing Director of IBM/HF Eric Kearney said. “These inductees will be on display at a dedicated kiosk exhibit which will also showcase photos of each class inducted since the merger.”

The museum’s popular Hometown Heroics exhibit in Arlington now has a fully updated database for patrons to enjoy. The IBM/HF continues working toward a $125,000 fundraising campaign goal to upgrade the interactive components of exhibit.

“I am excited to report that all funds donated as part of this campaign will be strictly dedicated to enhancing the exhibit and experience, rather than data entry or migration,” Kearney said.

The IBM/HF received media attention recently as the featured segment on Rocky Mountain Adventure Quest. The regional program produced from Colorado visited Arlington and included tour of the museum as well as the International Training and Research Center.

As part of the museum’s effort to enhance outreach, IBM/HF will introduce a new, monthly email newsletter this month designed keep patrons and the industry up to date on programs and projects.
